Article Synopsis
- Schizophrenia is a contentious term that suggests a biological disease, yet no specific physical disorder has been identified, raising questions about its validity and usefulness.
- The existing definition does not accurately represent individuals with similar symptoms or recovery trajectories, leading to a call for broader terms like 'psychosis' that recognize personal uniqueness without implying a disease model.
- A shift towards a new social framework for mental health services is needed to ensure transparency, fairness, and accountability in how individuals displaying distressing behaviors are supported and treated.
